I'm modding a Blue & White PMac G3 to hold 7 (yes 7) CD ROM drives. One of the metal cages I'm using is pulled from the inside of a PowerComputing Power Tower. It uses drive rails on the ride side and screws in on the left. Well originally I had all 7 drives in the tower and had no problem. But in the G3, the door opens on the left, and so theres no way to get to the left side of the metal drive cage to screw in the screws. Which means I need drive rails for every drive (meaning 3 more plus maybe some extra if enough are available). The computer was a Power Tower Pro, I believe it was this exact model: http://www.everymac.com/systems/powe..._pro225mp.html

I suspect that the rails are probably the same for every power computing computer, so I'm attaching a pic. If anyone has one or more of these rails around, please let me know, I need them kinda bad. Thanks...
